Hormone imbalances overview

Hormonal imbalances occur when you have too much or too little of a certain hormone. Small changes in hormones can have serious effects throughout your entire body. Hormones are produced in the endocrine glands and travel around the bloodstream to tell your organs what to do. They control many of your body’s major processes, including your metabolism and reproduction. While some hormone levels fluctuate throughout your lifetime (as a result of aging), major changes can cause an imbalance.
